Many still use old sheet-feeder fax machines. They’re old. They’re crappy. And those who remember pre-fax days, and aren’t technically inclined, still use the **** things.

Most people think I’m lying & deranged when I describe the “state of the art” of 1980’s era document processing; I was there, it was almost incomprehensibly different from today’s near-paperless environment.

I have been around since 12 party phone lines were new. I have a friend who is a font designer and could tell you if the fonts were changed. My first copy experience involved indelible pencils and a gelled sheet pan.
